poliphiloMy mother died yesterday afternoon.
They say, "In her sleep". I don't suppose anyone was watching so what that means is they went into check on her and she was gone. I found out around ten o'clock.
They rang my sister first. They weren't supposed to do that- what with her being out of the country- and she rang me.
I rang the kids.
I dreamed about her last night. I'd hoped I would. I was in the kitchen of the house in Hadlow (where we moved in 1960) on my hands and knees, from which position I could see across the hall into the living room- and that's where she was, also on her hands and knees- as if looking for something she'd dropped.
I went "Hello Ma, I thought I'd see you!" I spoke telepathically. I was happy. She didn't acknowledge me but didn't need to because she had business of her own to attend to- and she'd already given me a message by turning up.
Then a young couple came into the hallway, blocking my view. They sat down on chairs in the middle distance and kissed. Who on earth are they? I wondered, how do they fit in? Then other people came in and I woke up.
Later that night I got a full interpretation. My mother and I were on our hands and knees because we were still adjusting to the situation- weren't fully "up" to it yet. The young couple were life carrying on- as it does- and the kiss- it was a very chaste kiss- was telling me, "love is all".
